Top hotels in Old Fort Bay
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
Expensive dining with 15% service charge (customary to add another 5%) and 10% VET, so should plan on another 30%. Food was excellent, though. Service was, as well.

The Royal at Atlantis
I wish they would limit the cruise ship guests. On days ships are in port, the resort feels overcrowded. Also getting drinks at pools takes too long.

Warwick Paradise Island- All Inclusive- Adults Only
Overall, good experience, friendly concierge and front desk, Dj Francis was awesome!!! Nice pool and private beach area. Only 2 bars, not enough entertainment at the hotel. Food was average, but it was enjoyable.
